103416 - `View' > `Show/Hide' submenu must not have subsubmenus

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 103417

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Matthew T (active 1999-2002)]

Build: 2001100508, Mac OS 9.1

To reproduce:
1.  In Navigator, open the `View' > `Show/Hide' submenu.

What you see:
*   A `Site Navigation Bar' submenu.

What's wrong here:
*   `Never use more than *one level* of submenus. A submenu at the second level
    would be buried too deep in the interface and would unnecessarily create
    another level of complexity. Also, it takes more time for the user to use
    and peruse a hierarchical menu than a pull-down menu. It is physically
    difficult to use a second level of submenus without slipping off the first
    submenu ... Don't even *think* of doing this.' -- Macintosh HI Guidelines

What should happen:
*   There should not be UI in the menus for controlling the appearance of LINK
    links, just as there is not UI in the menus for controlling the appearance
    of A HREF links.

(And before you ask, yes, there are bugs open on the other abuses of submenus in
Mozilla.)
